Upgrading the firmware
Hitachi AMS 2100/2300 Storage System Hardware Guide
Overview
The instructions in this chapter assume that the AMS 2100/2300 system is
operating normally.
The procedure to upgrade the firmware on an AMS 2100/2300 includes
using the Upgrade Firmware wizard that is part of the Navigator 2 storage
management software. See
for basic information
on using the Navigator 2 software. See the Navigator 2 online help system
for detailed information. To access the help system, click Help in any
window in Navigator 2.
While the firmware is being upgraded, the host I/O may be focused in one
of the two control units. Therefore, Hitachi Data Systems recommends that
this work be performed during a period when the host I/O load is low.
Prerequisites
• Ensure that there is a good LAN connection between the AMS 2100/
2300 and the host computer, whether they are connected directly or
connected via switch.
• Ensure that other applications such as JP1/HiCommand Device
Manager, or other Hitachi applications are not currently accessing the
AMS 2100/2300, either directly or via the LAN.
• Ensure that all hardware components of he array are working and that
no parts have been removed.
Upgrading the firmware
Use the following procedure to upgrade the firmware.
•
1. Download the latest firmware from the Hitachi Data Systems Support
Portal. See the
section in the Preface for information about
accessing the support portal.
2. Launch a web browser and log in to Navigator 2 at the following URL:
http://<IP address of management console PC>:23015/
StorageNavigatorModular
If needed, see
for information on starting and
using Navigator 2.
3. Log in to Navigator 2. After a few seconds, the Navigator 2 Array List
window is displayed. The table in the window displays the names and
descriptions of the arrays currently listed in the Navigator 2 database.
CAUTION! Do not remove or replace any hardware components in
the array while the firmware is being downloaded or installed.
Wait at least 30 seconds after download and/or installation is
completed before beginning any hardware replacement
procedures.
